Hoch has noticed a trend on the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp's social media pages over the past few days... no Matt Mervis love. Is this the Marlins trying to erase mention of Mervis to cover up their bad roster decisions?
00:03Tonight, 945, that's probably around the time
00:07that the Miami Heat are going to be selecting
00:09if they hold on to that number 20 pick.
00:11Another one of those choice nights for South Florida sports viewers.
00:16Reminiscent of Stanley Cup Final Game 6.
00:21You watch Panthers and Edmonton, or you watch the Marlins.
00:25Thankfully, the Marlins moved up their start time that night to 610
00:29and really alleviate a lot of people's problems.
00:36Come on, Stowers.
00:39Stowers.
00:41The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp did win yesterday, by the way, 3-2.
00:44Yeah, they did.
00:45In dramatic fashion.
00:48Get behind the Jumbo Shrimp.
00:50Get behind the Jumbo Shrimp.
00:54Did they really win in dramatic fashion?
00:56What was the drama?
00:56It was a walk-off.
00:58It was a walk-off.
00:59Oh, really?
00:59Oh, okay.
01:00Yeah.
01:02I think if I'm remembering Twitter correctly.
01:07I kept up with my Jumbo Shrimp.
01:09I think it was a walk-off.
01:10Come on, baby.
01:11I do.
01:12I follow them.
01:13I'm constantly, you know, I wonder.
01:15I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
01:17A couple nights ago, remember they had that doubleheader?
01:20Yeah.
01:22And Matt Mervis hit a ding-dong in the first inning of the first game.
01:26Yeah.
01:28They didn't post it on social media.
01:30Now, the Jumbo Shrimp that day posted every other ding-dong and every other big play.
01:36They never posted the Mervis home run or mentioned it on social media.
01:41I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but Bruce Sherman, Clayton McCullough, are you directing the Jumbo Shrimp not to celebrate Matt Mervis because you know you made a mistake?
01:57Seems that way.
01:57I'm just asking the question.
02:01I am not suggesting that's what happened, but I do find it a little quizzical.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Every other run or big play or home run during that doubleheader was posted by the Jumbo Shrimp social media team, and they are on their game.
02:19Let me tell you.
02:22Except the Matt Mervis ding-dong.
02:25So, the minor league affiliate is holding out on Mervis' success?
02:35The major league franchise, which controls the minor league affiliate, has been told to bury the Mervis news.
02:47For what conspiracy theory thought?
02:52You can't handle the truth.
02:55So, they don't want Mervis to succeed.
03:05They don't want you to know he's succeeding because it will egg on their face.
03:14Herpes simplex number 10.
03:16So, Lana knows about that.
03:19I do.
03:20Hawk's on to something here.
03:23I'm not even lying.
03:24Because how is it possible?
03:26Like, why?
03:27Right?
03:28Is it that outlandish to think that they said to themselves, you know what?
03:31Mervis is killing it.
03:32We just DFA'd him.
03:34He's killing it in Jacksonville.
03:36If he does anything great, just ignore it.
03:39Social media team.
03:40He gets there.
03:41And the Jumbo Shrimp are just whatever.
03:44They're pedestrian.
03:45They're mediocre.
03:46He gets there.
03:47He gives them a jolt of energy.
03:49The social team is posting them left and right.
03:51And then all of a sudden, every Matt Mervis mention disappears.
03:57Yeah.
03:57Disappears.
03:58Zero dark 30.
04:01Zero dark Mervis.
04:02And the rest of the teams in MLB can't get that information to now come and get him?
04:11No, no, no, no.
04:11It's to save themselves the embarrassment from the fans, like me, who really follow the Jumbo
04:18Shrimp through social media.
04:21But now I got to use backdoor channels.
04:24Google.
04:25Boxcore.
04:27Because if they're not going to tell me when Mervis does something good, because they don't
04:30want to be embarrassed by the fact that they DFA'd him, well, I'm going to learn it somewhere.
04:37But I just looked it up.
04:39Other teams can sign players off of AAA teams.
04:43But they didn't.
04:45So now I don't.
04:46Like, they can come and get Mervis.
04:48They can come and get Mervis right now.
04:49No, no, no.
04:50I don't think they can.
04:51I just looked it up.
04:52No, that wouldn't make any sense.
04:54Because you put someone down to play for a rehab assignment, and then someone grabs Justin
04:59Verlander, like, you can't do that.
05:00But they could trade for him.
05:02They could trade for him, sure.
05:03But they could have claimed him.
05:05They could have claimed him when they DFA'd him.
05:07They could have claimed him with nothing in return to the Marlins.
05:10Nobody wanted him.
05:11That's fine.
05:11I'm not worried about the other MLB teams.
05:14I'm worried about my MLB team that DFA'd Matt Mervis and now have been proven wrong
05:20because the guy is a monster dong machine.
05:24And why doesn't anybody else want to come and get this monster dong machine?
05:30That's not my problem.
05:32But if he's that of a monster dong machine, I would love a monster dong machine.
05:36Well, why do you think they're not posting his home runs on social media?
05:41They made a mistake.
05:42Girl went to lunch.
05:43They made a mistake.
05:44Well, isn't that convenient?
05:47Sylvia went to lunch.
05:49Who made a mistake?
05:51The Marlins for DFAing him?
05:53Or the social media team?
06:00Nah, it makes all the sense of the Worldhawk.
06:01That Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp social team must really have their hands full.
06:06I mean, sometimes you watch, but you don't look.
06:13And you need to see.
06:15But what?
06:18I don't even know what you just said.
06:21Do you hear me?
06:23Or do you hear me?
06:29I don't think that's the phrase either.
06:32Fool me once.
06:34Shame on you.
06:36We won't get fooled again.
06:40Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
06:43Get busy living or get busy dying.
06:52Stop, drop, open up shop.
06:54What are we doing?
06:57I didn't get the memo.
07:00By the way, Crowder, based on...
07:02I like pretty girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
07:05I didn't get the memo.
07:09Based on experiences, what people have told me, those close to me.
07:14Not everybody is interested in a monster dong anyways.
07:20I bet.
07:21They like settling.
07:23You better hope.
07:24You better hope.
07:25You know.
07:27That's like a normal...
07:30A little pushpin.
07:32A guy who hits normal dongs.
07:34You know?
07:34Somebody texts in, Hawk is Matlock about Matt Murdoch.
07:40Yeah, yeah.
07:47Someone just texts in.
07:47He's shadow banned.
07:48They shadow banned him.
07:50Shadow banned.
07:51He got shadow banned.
07:54If they have his rights and he's playing so well, they should just bring him back up.
08:01100%.
08:02100%.
08:03But they don't want to bring him back up, but they want to hide his success.
08:08Why do you think?
08:10I'm asking you.
08:12They want to hide his success?
08:14That's right.
08:15They don't want to be proven wrong.
08:17But they can bring him back up.
08:19Oh, we were wrong about sending him down.
08:20Let's bring him back up.
08:21And they don't want to say we were wrong.
08:23So guess what they did?
08:25Shadow banned.
08:30Solana has herpes.
08:31I don't know what's going on.
08:33You got to open your eyes.
08:40It's really not the craziest thing in the world, Hawk.
08:42I think you're on to something.
08:44Craziest thing in the world.
08:46Shadow banned.
08:48He's shadow banned by his own organization.
08:51By his own organization.
08:53Shadow banned.
08:54And they could bring him up to play in the majors if they wanted to.
08:57That's right.
08:58But they don't want to bring him up.
08:59Shadow banned.
09:03What's the benefit?
09:06Shadow banned.
09:06What's the benefit of the shadow ban?
09:12That you don't get proven wrong to your fan base.
09:15They look up to you.
09:17Oh, these guys know everything.
09:19They make the best personnel decisions.
09:21And they send them down to the...
09:23I mean, they don't even send them down.
09:24They DFA them.
09:26Nobody wants them.
09:27They throw them at the Jacksonville Jumbo Strimp.
09:32Now he's racking up dongs and game winners.
09:35What are you going to do?
09:37Shadow ban.
09:39Bring him back up.
09:43Or shadow ban him.
09:49I hate you, Texter, that gave him this phrase, shadow ban.
09:53Yeah, shadow ban is good.
09:55That is a good one.
09:56Because there's no argument to shadow ban because it's a shadow ban.
09:59Because I was going to start going with anti-Semitic, but I didn't even believe that.
10:04And then shadow ban is much better.
10:16Matt Mervis.
10:16Matt Mervis.
10:24Could make some headlines going with the ladder.
10:26Just saying.
10:29Well, if shadow ban doesn't take off, I retain the right.
10:38All right.
10:39NBA draft tonight.
10:40Marlins play tonight.
10:41No Matt Mervis in the lineup for the Marlins.
10:43We know why.
10:45I wonder why.
10:47Shadow ban.
10:48Shadow ban.
10:50I bet they're messing with the statistics.
10:54Possible.
10:55You can't.
10:59Oh, okay.
11:00And you can't rig an election either, right?
11:03You can mess with batting statistics.
11:07Either that bastard hits the ball or he doesn't.
11:09What does war really mean?
11:11And how is whip really calculated?
11:14Let's be 100% honest.
11:15Come on.
11:16Do any of us really know what that means?
11:18Wins above replacement.
11:20The hell does that mean?
11:23Batting averages are manipulated.
11:26It's all gobbledygook.
11:32Go.
11:33Go.
11:33Go.
11:33You know what?
11:41Now I see why these right wing podcasters enjoy what they're doing because this is fun
11:46as hell.
11:48You don't, you literally don't have to be grounded to reality.
11:51You could say whatever you want.
11:52And if somebody says, no, that's impossible.
11:54You just go.
11:55Is it?
11:56Is it impossible?
11:58Shadow ban.
11:59Shadow ban.
11:59Shadow ban.
11:59Shadow ban.
11:59Shadow ban.
11:59Shadow ban.
12:01Sheep.
12:04You're such a sheep, Crowder.
12:05Yeah.
12:05Bah.
12:06Bah.
12:07Oh, average.
12:08Oh, no one fixes the average.
12:09Bah.
12:10Yeah.
12:11No, you listen to the mainstream media, huh?
12:13Mainstream media.
12:13That's what you do.
12:14I want to make this clear.
12:16Batting average is manipulated.
12:21Oh, I guess you think we landed on the moon.
12:27I do.
12:29Well, guess who the astronaut was?
12:31Wasn't Neil Armstrong.
12:32It was Matt Mervis.
12:35Oh, my goodness gracious.
12:38He was shadow banned by Kennedy.
12:43He wasn't alive.
12:45Do you know who the first president was?
12:50George Washington.
12:51Ron Washington.
12:53Everyone has that wrong.
12:56His name's Ron.
12:57Ron Washington.
12:59Angels coach.
12:59Legend.
13:03Legend.
13:05Is he the angel coach?
13:08He's on, like, medical leave or something.
13:11Yeah, he is.
13:12I saw he just, yeah, he got sick.
13:15He was doing drugs for a while, right?
13:18Allegedly.
13:19Oh, okay.
13:20So was Agassi.
13:21Ah, different drugs.
13:27I think Ron was enjoying his life.
13:31Just saying.
13:33You're going to bring up Ron's.
13:34Bring up Agassi's also.
13:35Your weather.
13:42From the DeMesman and Dover Law Firm.
13:43Call them 866-954-MORE.
13:45Your accident.

13:48Somebody just pointed out.
13:49Do you know who runs the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp social media?
